Cell Respiration
Aerobic cell respiration
ATP
It captures chemical energy gotten from the breakdown of food molecules.
Formula : C10H16N5O13P3
It is a molecule that carries energy inside cells, known as "Adenosine triposphate". It is also an organic compound and hydrotrope that provides energy in living cells.
Anaerobic cell respiration
It is a process in which organisms use oxygen to turn fuel, such as fats and sugars, into chemical energy.
In this process, it breaks down glucose when there is no presence of oxygen. It produces lactic acid, rather than carbon dioxide and water
Fermentation
Cytoplasm
Its function is to support and suspend organelles and cellular molecules.
It is a thick solution that fills each cell and is enclosed by the cell membrane. It is mainly composed of water, salts, and proteins.
Lactic Acid
It requires oxygen and gives a large amount of ATP from glucose. Formula : C6H12O6 + 6O2 yields 6CO2 + 6H2O
Mitochondria
Chemical energy produced by the mitochondria is stored in a small molecule called adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
It is a membrane-bound cell organelles (mitochondrion, singular) that generate most of the chemical energy needed to power the cell's biochemical reactions.
Ethanol
Ethanol produced either by fermentation or by synthesis is obtained as a dilute aqueous solution and must be concentrated by fractional distillation.
Formula : C2H5OH
The diagram above is called the citric acid cycle also called the tricarboxylic acid cycle or the Krebs cycle, is a series of redox reactions that begins with Acetyl CoA in which the reaction occurs twice for each molecule of glucose.
Formula : C3H6O3
It transfers energy from glucose to cells. Furthermore, it transfers a large amount of energy quickly. Formula : C6H12O6 -> 2C3H6O3
It is an organic chemical compound that is an important industrial chemical. It is used as a solvent, in the synthesis of other organic chemicals, and as an additive to automotive gasoline (forming a mixture known as a gasohol).
It is a metabolic process that produces chemical changes in organic substrates through the action of enzymes in which molecules such as glucose are broken down anaerobically.
It is a chemical byproduct of anaerobic respiration — the process by which cells produce energy without oxygen around. Bacteria produce it in yogurt and our guts.
Formula : C6H12O6 → 2 C2H5OH + 2 CO
